对着 AI 虚空呐喊

1作者: dnoberon2 天前
免责声明:本帖讨论的是人工智能及其在工程领域的应用。 我是一名资深工程师,从业 12 年了,对是否应该使用人工智能以及如何使用人工智能,我完全没有头绪。 这种感觉就像我离开之前的宗教一样:置身于一个新世界,我正在努力寻找自我认同,以及我真正的价值观是什么。 我重视工匠精神——但也重视把事情做好。 我一直提倡使用最强大的工具,主张使用调试器而不是打印调试,使用现代编辑器功能,如 LSP 等。 我重视独特性而非一致性,重视创造力而非死记硬背。 其中一些价值观支持使用人工智能,而另一些似乎强烈建议避免使用。 就像二战期间和之后通过可怕的手段发明的一些东西一样; 我觉得人工智能具有难以置信的潜力,但与此同时,它也在剥夺版权,毒害生态系统和社区。 我必须保住我的工作,这样才能养家糊口,但我不想从事任何需要我放弃任何价值观的工作。 然而,在工作中,我看到工程师们严重依赖人工智能的产出,而且这些产出往往质量很差——当然,并非总是如此。 我读了那篇“使用人工智能就像老虎机”的帖子,并且感同身受,但它难道不是一个可以节省我们时间的强大工具吗? 如果我没有充分使用人工智能,我是不是会落后,并且再也无法从事我一生挚爱的这个行业了? 我知道这就像对着虚空呐喊; 但你们中肯定有人在听,对吧?

Disclaimer that this post is about AI and its use in engineering.<p>I’m a senior engineer and have been in the professional business for 12 years and I have no idea how much, or if I should even use AI for anything. I feel much like I did when I left my former religion: in a new world where I’m struggling to find identity and what my values actually are.<p>I value craftsmanship - but I also value getting things done. I’ve always advocated for using the strongest tools, pushing for debuggers over print debugging, using modern editor features like LSPs etc. I value uniqueness over uniformity and creativity over rote recital. Some of these values support AI use and some of them seem to strongly suggest avoiding it. Like some of the inventions during and after WWII which were discovered through terrible means; I feel like AI has incredible potential while at the same time ripping away copyright and poisoning the ecosystem and communities.<p>I have to keep my job so I can provide for my family, but I don’t want to keep any job that requires that I give up any of my values. Yet at work I see the output of engineers relying heavily on AI and it trends very heavily towards garbage - but of course not all the time. I read the “AI use is like a slot machine” post and can feel part of that, but isn’t still a powerful tool to save us time?<p>Am I falling behind and will be unable to work in the field which I’ve loved for my whole life if I don’t use AI enough?<p>I know this is like screaming into the void; but some of you have to be listening though, right?
